This tutorial will show how to detect the fullness of a trash can by using an IR breakbeam sensor, and a RGB LED will change its color according to the changes. Parts list : Arduino Uno IR Breakbeam Sensor Wires (of various lengths and ends) An LED light bulb 3 330 ohm resistor Infrared (IR) […]
In this tutorial, we will learn how to use button, DC Motor, LED and Piezo buzzer with the Arduino board to prototype an opioid-impaired driving guard system for vehicles. This system is part of our Driver Guard SOS project, I am working on this project with my group mates Gil and Jacey, who each is working […]
This tutorial shows you how to display written messages on an 8×8 LED Matrix. Emitting such messages is part of a larger project to respond to an opioid overdose through sensor responses. In this case, the LED matrix will display the message: “SOS Call 9-1-1” to bystanders should an individual be in danger of an […]
Buttons and LEDs are basic parts that can be easily programmed with Arduino, but this humble hardware can be critical for creating prototypes that interact with users in a certain way. Colors, flashes of light, and even vibrations can change the way that a user interacts with your prototype. This tutorial aims to provide a […]
Overview Nowadays people rely on cell phones, so emergency landlines in public spaces are hard to find. For situations when a connection is needed, it can be a tough decision which communication technology to deploy. The popular GSM (Global Systems for Mobile Communication) boards are becoming harder to integrate as 2G and 3G are becoming […]

play with arcade buttons
ARCADE BUTTONS WITH LED A button is a button, and a switch is a switch, but the translucent arcade buttons are in a class of their own. Particularly because they have LEDs built in. The arcade buttons can often be found on retro arcade game machines. The arcade buttons have two surface mount LEDs with […]
To create a new Intelligent medicine box, the interaction between the doctor, box and patients is very important. Each time the patient takes the box to the hospital to get refilled, the doctor needs to reset the box. To be more specific, the doctor needs to tell the box how long (how many days) this […]
Introduction Data is everywhere, all the time. The overabundance of data streams can be not only personally exhausting but can also undermine otherwise successful sensor-based projects. You can have the best sensors and the most intelligent sensing design, but if the data coming from those sensors isn’t used intelligently, the project will not live up […]

automatic Narcan first aid-kit
Introduction This tutorial is part of the Narcan first aid-kit project . When the driver got notified that there is an emergency, the driver will hit a button and open the Narcan first aid-kit. This tutorial will demonstrate how to open the Narcan first aid-kit with a buttom. Parts List Jumper wires Push button Servo […]
In this tutorial, you will build a device that uses RFID detection to turn on an LED light. This project provides an introduction to using RFID sensors to control responses with an Arduino. Parts List Arduino Uno An RC522 RFID Reader, such as this one, or a similar RFID sensor (you will also want the […]
